“…The phylum Brachiopoda is a minor phylum, widely known as "living fossils", and several studies reported the existence of this phylum from middle to Upper Jurassic (Alberti et al 2017) as well as Middle Triassic periods (Feldman 2017). Currently, living brachiopods are comprised of 116 genera and 391 species (Emig et al 2013), and the distribution of this phylum has been reported previously in several locations, including, Queensland, Australia (Kenchington and Hammond 1978), North Western Philippines (Leopardas et al 2016), South China Sea (Bitner and Romanin 2018), Japan (Goto et al 2014) and India (Mitra and Pattanayak 2013;Samanta et al 2014;Samanta et al 2015;Nayak et al 2018).…”

Abstract. Ambarwati R, Rahayu DA, Rachmadiarti F, Khaleyla F. 2021. DNA barcoding of lamp shells (Brachiopoda: Lingula anatina) from Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 1764-1774. Lingula anatina is one of brachiopods found in tropical regions, however, the reports on this species from South East Asia is currently limited. This study, therefore, aims to identify the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence and phylogenetic of lamp shells from Probolinggo, Indonesia. A total of five samples of lamp shells were collected from Probolinggo, Indonesia, then identified based on morphological characters, and the identification was confirmed using molecular data. Subsequently, molecular characterization and identification were conducted based on 657 bp of COI gene similarity, sequence variation, genetic distance, phylogenetic topology, and BOLD System. According to the results, the Lingula species found in Probolinggo Indonesia was Lingula anatina. The median-joining network and Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) analysis showed this Lingula anatina population from Probolinggo had relatives of 22 haplotypes and divided into six haplogroups. Furthermore, the population belonged to the same haplogroup but had different haplotypes. Thus, this study provides more information for Lingula anatina phylogenetic and haplotype studies.

“…Studies on the macrobenthos of the MES and adjacent mangrove waterways/intertidal mudflats are confined mainly to taxonomic accounts, without much inference to the local environmental conditions (Deb, 1998;Pattanayak and Haldar, 1998;Rao, 1998;Surya Rao and Maitra, 1998;Nayak et al, 2018;Tudu et al, 2018;Mohanty et al, 2022). In recent years, industrial expansion has become disproportionately rapid along major waterways due to well-connected transport hubs and habitation sites, as is the case for the MES.…”

“…Port/harbor expansion, dredging, increased marine traffic, loss of mangroves, and aquaculture development, amongst others, are some regularly seen activities in the vicinity. Such events, not to mention the additional burdens of pollution and changes in physicochemical conditions of the estuary, show adverse impacts on the sediment-dwelling benthic communities (Nayak et al, 2018), making this study highly relevant.…”

The Mahanadi Estuarine System (MES), with a complex network of freshwater channels, rivers, and mangroves, is a leading seaport in State Odisha on the east coast of India, but subjected to intense human activity in recent years. Such anthropic impingements are known to impact sediment-dwelling biota adversely. However, information on the macrobenthic community of the MES is not well documented yet. Therefore, the primary objectives of this study (February 2013-March 2017) were to address knowledge gaps on the macrobenthic community structure vis-à-vis local environmental conditions and to evaluate the extent of anthropogenic disturbances on macrobenthos. The results from 264 benthic grab samples (van Veen, 0.04 m2; 2 replicates × 12 GPS fixed locations × 3 seasons) revealed 73 taxa representing 64 genera and 48 families of macrobenthic fauna. The polychaetes (81.41%) and crustaceans (15.42%) were significant faunal groups that contributed mainly to the benthic population and diversity. Multivariate approaches using benthic community attributes and biotic indices (AMBI and M-AMBI) as proxy measures of environmental disturbances proved effective for appraisal. The correlations between the environmental parameters (temperature, pH, salinity) and community estimates were statistically significant. Hierarchical clustering analysis disclosed three major groups (Global R 0.70; p < 0.002) influenced by tolerant/opportunist species. The lower abundance, richness, diversity, and dominance of opportunistic species mark the signs of environmental stress. The community health status remained unbalanced, as indicated by AMBI scoring. M-AMBI analysis contributed best in differentiating areas exposed to diverse impacts and indicated polluted community health status with moderate ecological quality. Our results reiterate the effective use of macrobenthos as bioindicators for ecological status and monitoring. The findings could be utilized for future monitoring assessments, translated into valuable information, and designed into well-defined sustainable management strategies for the MES.
